Question

Select the equation that represents the graph of the line. 3+ 2 1- -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 5 -3+ -4- -57 o y = 1 / 2 x + 2 O'y=x-1 o y = 1 / 2 x - 1 O y=x+2

Answer 1

First, we have to find the slope with the formula below.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let's replace the points (0, -1) and (2, 0).

$m=\frac{0-(-1)}{2-0}=\frac{1}{2}$

Once we have the slope, we use the slope-intercept formula to find the equation.

$y=mx+b$

Where m = 1/2, and b = -1.

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-1$

Hence, the answer is the third choice.
